What is Juneteenth, America's newest federal holiday?
Juneteenth marks the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans. It became a federal holiday in 2021.
United States stock markets will be closed on Thursday, June 19 in observance of Juneteenth.
The Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange will be closed Thursday and reopen Friday, June 20. The U.S. bond market will also be closed on June 19, according to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.
Juneteenth, known as American's Second Independence Day, has been commemorated as a federally-recognized holiday since 2021, providing millions of Americans with a paid day off and the opportunity to commemorate the end of slavery.
The holiday honors the date when Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas in 1865 with 2,000 Union troops to proclaim that more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free – two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863.
After shuttering for Juneteenth, it will be business as usual on Wall Street until early July. The next scheduled stock market closure is on Friday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.

The traditional 9-to-5 is being replaced by the 'infinite workday'
While most of the conversation around the post-pandemic workplace has focused on remote working and RTO (return to office) mandates, new research is pointing to an emerging trend. Microsoft's latest Work Trend Index has found that the traditional nine-to-five workday is becoming obsolete, and is being replaced by the 'infinite workday' instead. The Work Trend Index found that the average American employee receives 50 work-related messages outside of standard business hours, 40 percent who are online at 6am are reviewing emails, nearly 30 percent check emails after 10pm, and one in five review work correspondence on weekends. Want to take your career in a new direction? Discover 5 jobs hiring across the U.S. This shift represents a fundamental transformation in how Americans work, with potential ramifications for everything from overtime regulations to employee wellbeing initiatives. The pandemic's lasting impact While the pandemic didn't directly create an out-of-hours work culture, it made it more normal, particularly in jobs that would have never been done remotely before. The shift to a more flexible attitude to working hours was necessary as adults juggled childcare or caregiving responsibilities during the traditional workday. However, this trade-off has now become embedded in workplace culture, several years after restrictions have become a distant memory, and mandatory RTO policies are paradoxically exacerbating the problem rather than solving it. This is because workers now feel pressure to demonstrate their productivity and commitment by working additional hours, particularly those who are desperately trying to cling onto whatever remote working privileges they have left. After all, how can any boss argue with an employee looking for workplace flexibility when they are visibly online well into the night? Another pandemic hangup that is affecting how we work is the amount of meetings we've become accustomed to. While camera-on video calls became a necessary evil during the pandemic, the default option to 'jump on a call' when an email chain would suffice means workers are spending much of their in-office hours on calls or in meetings that leave little time for focused work. In fact, 57 percent of meetings are arranged on the fly without a calendar invitation. Most meetings take place between 9am and 11am and 1pm and 3pm, and Tuesdays are the day when most meetings take place (23 percent). However, being trigger-happy when it comes to sending emails en masse isn't the solution either. Microsoft's research uncovered that the average worker receives 117 emails daily and mass email threads with 20-plus participants are up 7 percent in the past year. One-on-one emails are on the decline (down 5 percent in the last year). This means evenings and weekend hours are increasingly becoming the only times real tasks can be accomplished. Microsoft's research found that 29 percent of workers are diving back into their inbox at 10pm and 50-plus messages are sent and received outside of core working hours. Additionally, 20 percent of workers are actively working over the weekends and check their emails before noon on Saturdays and Sundays. Around 5 percent will also check their email after 6pm on a Sunday in anticipation of the working week. Hanging in the balance This transformation raises important questions about existing labor protections and overtime regulations. And while some off-hours work represents legitimate flexibility which allows employees to attend to personal responsibilities during traditional business hours, Microsoft's research also suggests that many workers are experiencing genuine work expansion rather than redistribution. One solution could lie in HR departments implementing screen time monitoring to get a better overview of working patterns, but this kind of intervention could also create a toxic work culture where anyone not working overtime could be viewed less favourably by management and lead to even more burnout. As such, when off-hours work becomes the norm, it creates what the report refers to as an 'infinite workday' where employees never truly disconnect. The death of the nine-to-five workday may be inevitable, but how America manages this transition will determine whether it leads to greater work-life integration or simply longer working hours disguised as flexibility in the long run.

DAT: Truckload volumes held steady in July as summer seasonality peaks
BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Truckload freight volumes held steady in July as summer seasonality took hold, driven by produce and retail goods moving ahead of the Independence Day holiday, said DAT Freight & Analytics, which operates the DAT One freight marketplace and DAT iQ data analytics service. Volumes softened gradually through the rest of the month. The DAT Truckload Volume Index (TVI), which measures monthly loads moved, was flat compared to June and up modestly year over year: Van TVI: 249, down 0.4% from June, up 3% from July 2024 Refrigerated (reefer) TVI: 202, up 2% month over month, up 11% year over year Flatbed TVI: 314, down 3% month over month, up 8% year over year. 'The truckload market remains soft with no meaningful shifts in demand or capacity, aside from seasonal bumps and tactics by shippers managing tariffs,' said Ken Adamo, DAT Chief of Analytics. Rates showed mixed movement National average spot van and reefer rates inched higher as carriers sought to offset rising fuel costs: Spot van: $2.05 per mile, up 3 cents from June Spot reefer: $2.42 per mile, up 5 cents Spot flatbed: $2.55 per mile, down 2 cents Linehaul rates, which exclude an amount equal to an average fuel surcharge, were mostly stable. The van linehaul rate averaged $1.63 per mile, unchanged month over month. The reefer rate increased 2 cents to $1.96, and the flatbed rate slipped 6 cents to $2.04. The monthly average fuel surcharge increased by 3 cents in July to 42 cents for vans, 46 cents for reefers, and 51 cents for flatbeds — the highest this year. Prolonged soft market persists Contract rates mirrored the uptick in fuel surcharges: Contract van: $2.44 per mile, up 4 cents month over month Contract reefer: $2.78 per mile, up 4 cents Contract flatbed: $3.08 per mile, up 3 cents 'There are carriers with low cost structures and steady customers that are negotiating better contracts,' said Adamo, 'but in general, there's a feeling that volumes and rates are stuck. Barring some major event, there's nothing to suggest that's going to change any time soon.' About the Truckload Volume Index The DAT Truckload Volume Index reflects the change in the number of loads with a pickup date during that month. A baseline of 100 equals the number of loads moved in January 2015, as recorded in DAT RateView, a database tracking rates paid on an average of 3 million loads per month. DAT benchmark spot rates are derived from invoice data for hauls of 250 miles or more with a pickup date during the month reported. About DAT Freight & Analytics DAT Freight & Analytics operates the DAT One truckload freight marketplace; Convoy Platform, an automated freight-matching technology; DAT iQ analytics service; Trucker Tools load-visibility platform; and Outgo factoring and financial services for truckers. Shippers, transportation brokers, carriers, news organizations, and industry analysts rely on DAT for market trends and data insights, informed by nearly 700,000 daily load posts and a database exceeding $1 trillion in freight market transactions.
